My sister has written and received excellent excel-lent answers, and If you will not mind I will sale a few questions, I am 16 years old and my face has a rather large amount of pimples. I ' have sponged It In hot and cold water and used many home remedies but have had poor results. Some folks have advised me to get face cream and such arttclea. My folka do not think It is necessary. I was operated on last year and they say the medicine I took causes It. When I went to school I used powder to quite an extreme. I thought that -was the cause, but during the summer months I have tried to use as little as possible and they are the same. Now what do you think could be the cause? What could I do? Do you think a good powder pow-der will cause such?' Thanking you and wishing you lots ef success, SLIVERS,. Kansas. Welcome Slivers, from the sunflower state. I wo,a1d say the causa of your pimples might be from neglect of your skin wlrfla using powder excessively. Of coj1rae they may be from a blood dlsofler, In which case this condition wlM of oourse have to be corrected. In ofther case I would not advise the hot Water. but rather yd should have a good acne cream and also an astringent cream or lotion. Usebthes once or twice each day and alwiWs ctoanse the face thoroughly before retiring. No, I da not think a good (swdlr would Causa this condition, if the kl Is properly prop-erly eared for.

I am nulte sure you will be aware of the fact when you really are In love. It la indued a trag- edy to discover you are not in love when too late.
